ISO to EUC convertion

Hi, I have requirement like this... Read a TEXT file that has codes that represents Japanese chars in iso-8859-1 encoding. example "&#35336;&#30011;&#23550;&#27604;" I have to read these and convert into EUC and write the EUC to a different file. " <?php $fpI = fopen("E:\\input.txt","r"); $fpO = fopen("E:\\output.txt","w+"); $row=0; while ($data = fgetcsv ($fpI, 1000, "=")) { $num = count ($data); $row++; $str=mb_convert_encoding ( $data[0], "EUC-JP", "ASCII") . "\n"; fputs($fpO, $str); } ?> " But this doesnt work. Can u please guide me how to achieve this.
